When I was a little girl, one of my favorite things to do was to play with my dolls and pretend that they were sick. My mom even bought me a black nurse bag and the little white cap to wear while I was ‘attending to the sick’. I told her that one day I would be the best nurse that there ever was and she agreed.
Now that I’m older I am pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse at an excellent college in my hometown. Their program for nursing is one of the best healthcare programs in MO. After I am finished with the 15 month program here at the Sanford Brown College, St Peters and am awarded my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, I am planning on going online to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses to obtain licensure in nursing. With this additional licensing I will be able to choose from a more enhanced group of employment opportunities.
I can still remember one time that I was at Dr. Moore’s office for a check up and the nurse that came in to give me my shots asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I pulled out my play nurse hat and put it on my head and answered; “I’m going to be the best nurse in Missouri”. I am now working towards that goal.

When one finishes from a 4 year college, you have learned a lot about many different things. You will have learned about psychology and science. You will have learned about math and English, and perhaps another language as well. You will have also learned about history, geography, and communication and whatever else you may have majored in.
What you will have learned nothing about, however, is a specialty. While 4 year colleges may provide you with a great deal of knowledge, they rarely provide you with a great deal of knowledge about a specific job or occupation once you graduate. Instead, you are forced to find a job, learn the job as if you had never been to school, and hopefully like it.
That’s why most people do not stick with the first jobs they get after college. Knowing about the field does not mean you enjoy the job you get or know anything about it. Instead, if you hope to stick with your first job, your best bet is to go to a New York medical career program rather than a 4 year college, because you are trained in a job, not in a bunch of theories, so you know exactly what to do when you have graduated.

When I finished high school, going to college was the furthest thing from my mind. At the time, I felt that I had spent enough years in school and I wanted to find a job and make some money. I wanted to experience life and travel to other countries and I knew that this would not be a possibility if I was paying my way through college.
I got a job at a fast food restaurant, traveled in Europe and Australia and lived my life as I had wanted to. I did eventually decide that it was time for me to go back to school, as I knew that I did not want to work at McDonalds for the rest of my life.
I applied to go to the Houston Sanford Brown Institute and get a certificate as a pharmacy technician. Had I gone to college, I would have become a pharmacist, so I thought that this course would be a great stepping stone for me, if I was ever to decide to go through with the college courses.
I finished at Sanford Brown and got a really good job. I am in the midst of planning a second trip to Europe and then I just might go back to school and get my degree.
